The first rule of therapy club is that you talk about therapy club.
I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your words.
And the reason I said you were obstinate were because you were. You refused to accept that it works since it doesn't do it in the way you want it to. And now you're rage-downvoting. You should probably take a few minutes off.
EDIT: No, you didn't state that it didn't work after seven minutes and multiple routs of attempting to get the link to resolve. I see that you have edited that in later, in one of the later comments. It worked on the reload for me. And no, it's not preventing input to improve a product, it's asking you to be less absolutist in your comments. "It doesn't work as well as it should" compared to your "it doesn't work". When it obviously does work, albeit could work better.
Edit: No ;P
Who said I can program?
EDIT: If I could do the work to make it work better I would.
EDIT:
obstinate
adjective
ob·sti·nate ˈäb-stə-nət : stubbornly adhering to an opinion, purpose, or course in spite of reason, arguments, or persuasion
Sound's like you're just being obstinate, then. It works, just not how you would prefer (well, I would also prefer that it didn't give an error screen like that, but that's besides the point). This is still early days of an open source project, and for that one should have a bit more understanding than for corporate products. A lot of other services also started out very unpolished and took time to get better.
The good thing is that you should be able to contribute and make it so that it doesn't do that since you wrote you were a software developer for your whole career.
EDIT: nice angry downvote, Cosmic Cleric...
So you're saying you did know that Lemmy has the thing where if you're the first one to ask to get community data from another instance the link will give you an error and you must click it again (or reload) to get the instanced version of that community for your instance, and then say that it doesn't work?
That doesn't sound to me like you knew how Lemmy works. I can agree that it should be more hands-off for the user and the server should silently just do the thing to get the instanced community before sending data back to the client, but that's a different argument.
That is how Lemmy works. Not my fault if you didn't know that.
Like Trainguyrom wrote, you're probably the first user on your instance trying to access it. Try the link again. It's the proper way to link to communities using Lemmy. Your link doesn't give people on other instances the easy option to subscribe to the community.
EDIT: Interestingly enough it looks like someone went through the first page of my profile and downvoted each comment of mine. Hmmm, how very strange ;P
Not sure if you actually meant logarithmic or exponential. An exponential tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot more in tax, while a logarithmic tax rate would mean that the more you own the next unit of value would be a lot less in tax. See x^2^ versus log~2~(x) (or any logarithm base, really). The exponential (x^2^) would start slow and then increase fast, and the logarithmic one would start increasing fast and then go into increasing slowly.
That's absolutely a ridiculous stance. Yes, you can personally go through everything, but there's also searching around to find out what other people say about it, actually look through the issues people have raised. Some of it applies to proprietary software as well, find out what other people say about the software. You don't need to do everything yourself, but you do have to take responsibility for trying to make sure it will work as you hope it will.
Well, seeing as I know that story is from Norway, not the USA; none.
If you do even some basic back of the napkin math on how many psykers are sacrificed to the God Emperor of Man each day compared to how many people there are in the imperium and figure out how many are born and die each day you'll end up with a very small percentage. It was actually a fun exercise to figure it out in my friend group.
